Lake Ruth just put out a new album, Birds of America.
― Moodles, Wednesday, 21 February 2018 21:38 (six years ago) link
It's very good, and I'd highly recommend it, and their previous one, to any Broadcast fan.
― Moodles, Wednesday, 21 February 2018 21:43 (six years ago) link
I really like that Lake Ruth album, it's very breezy. And yet it still ultimately just makes me listen to Broadcast again.

thanks for that :)
i went out for breakfast in a diner in a small city in the midwest recently and the server was wearing a broadcast t-shirt, which i thought was rather unlikely. he likewise thought it was unlikely that anyone would recognize it.

I've been listening to a lot of Broadcast since the 2000's album poll rollout. This morning, while listening to the local college radio station, the bass and drums intro of "See Emily Play" came on, and I found myself thinking "awesome, they're playing Broadcast... what album is this from, though?" Then Syd Barrett's vocals came in.

The Noise Made By People is 20 years old. Nice piece here in Stereogum;

I've been thinking a lot about the fact that we lost Trish to the H1N1 pandemic. Not a coronavirus, but I hope our leading lights are staying safe. There's not a month goes by that I don't wonder what we lost from her work to come.

I've been playing a lot of my favourite records for comfort over the last few days and Broadcast have been right up there. Work & Non Work and The Noise Made By People are the ones I went for first and they just sounded as perfect as ever.

Here's a mix I made in tribute to Broadcast a few years back:

After listening to that I was led back to some of Neanderthal’s recordings. Good stuff.
Miss her presence in the world.

I wonder if the last Broadcast songs will ever be released? there were some really good songs played live towards the end that aren't on any of the records
eg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRnDmDC2tVk
it would be pretty special if there was enough for a final album, feels like a "new" release would also be a nice occasion for a really big celebration of her life and art

I was particularly intrigued by the "what you want is not what you need" song from that same show. (Now popularly known as Dulcimer Jam) It was only upon seeking news of possible new recordings that I heard that something had gone awry on her homeward journey. :(
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 15 January 2021 01:10 (three years ago) link
yeah I saw the Sydney show and that dulcimer song was a highlight - it was all highlights really - seeing her so alive and radiant as a performer made it all the more difficult to process her loss only a week or so later

Good lord, the Peel version of Echo's Answer is marvelous!

Wow were the Peel sessions never released officially? I think I’d forgotten that.
― piscesx, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 14:23 (three years ago) link
i remember being disappointed with the official Youth And Laughter after hearing the peel session version first. i think the vocals and the music just go together better on this version.

Just started listening to Ominous Cloud as this thread popped up, think it might be my favourite now. When are we having that Broadcast poll?

popped in a coffee shop a couple weeks back terribly under the weather and just hearing them play haha sound over the speakers lifted my spirits considerably.

that demo is so beautiful - there’s something about those intimate (dictaphone?) recordings of Trish that I find really transporting - it’s like they open up another dimension
― lemmy incaution (emsworth), Tuesday, 28 September 2021 21:22 (three years ago) link
Weird coincidence considering the posts upthread from last year but there’s a new BBC sessions album coming out soon. It’s in Mojo but I can’t find anything about it online so far.
― piscesx, Friday, 14 January 2022 14:25 (two years ago) link
oh yeah, I saw a screenshot of a Jon Dale I think review, BBC sessions but also two other releases? Maybe the witch cult one? Also didn't see anything online.
― dan selzer, Friday, 14 January 2022 14:30 (two years ago) link
Maida Vale Sessions, Microtronics 1 & 2, and Mother is the Milky Way all getting releases on Warp. It's in Uncut. It doesn't say how they are being released.

oh right. I have the microtonics 3" Cds.

various levels of things i already have. not sure i've heard the evening session tracks though.
some of those peel sessions i prefer to the 'real' versions. 'where youth and laughter' go sounds more playful, for instance.
― koogs, Tuesday, 25 January 2022 17:44 (two years ago) link
Maida Vale Sessions is fantastic
― willem, Friday, 18 March 2022 15:53 (two years ago) link
It really is.
― djh, Friday, 18 March 2022 17:31 (two years ago) link
yeah it is absolutely wonderful, the 2003 session in particular is breath-taking. Mother is the milky way is a revelation too, liberated from headphones and wooly mp3 compression, it make perfect sense as an lp. I always thought of it as an endearing footnote to witch cults, but i think i might actually prefer it.
― cw, Friday, 18 March 2022 21:02 (two years ago) link
Never heard the Nico cover Sixty Forty before (nor the original!). It's absolutely gorgeous.
― kraudive, Friday, 18 March 2022 21:23 (two years ago) link
definitely gonna pick up the vinyl of the BBC sessions
selling Mother is the Milky Way as a full-priced LP feels a little cheeky - would have been cool even just to bulk it out with the Familiar Shapes and Noises EP (which is sometimes my favourite Broadcast release)
